We All Need Encouragement

Welcome to the Rapid Bull, daily edition, where we provide a quick biblical interpretations and applications. This is a ministry of striving for eternity.

The Need for Encouragement and Mutual Exhortation

Have you ever gotten something that really greatly encourages you? I want to talk this week about things that encourage us, and I want to give you some examples. But we need encouragement. Many of us, well, we try to go through life pretending like we can handle everything.

We don't need anyone else. We don't need to know what other people are thinking, because we're good enough, strong enough, whatever it may be, to be able to do this on our own. And the reality is, every one of us, if we're going to admit it, needs encouragement.

In fact, scripture says that we should be encouraging one another. We don't like to admit that, do we? But we should. We need to encourage one another. There's actually many one another's in the Bible, and maybe one day I will do a podcast on that.

But what I do want to do is look at the fact that we should be about the business of encouraging one another. It's something we need to do. It's something that the Bible calls us to. And when we think about it, and by the way, I should mention this is in 1 Thessalonians 4 .18, that it says, therefore encourage one another.

And so, the thing is, is we should be about that business. We should be doing that. And I want to encourage you this week in different ways. I hope that you're encouraged, first off, by reading the scriptures.

Scripture as the Greatest Source of Encouragement

That is the greatest source that we could ever have of encouragement in our life.
